↗ what must be on your postcard

• message itself
• (this should go at the end of your message) Username @soshified e.g grandma deer @soshified followed by
• City - Country e.g Auckland - New Zealand
• You may include your real name if you wish to but username and locations is a must.
• Include "Right now it's a Global Generation Happy 4th Anniversary, Girls' Generation!" in your native language [Global Generation can be left in English wherever it fits in the phrase -- if you don't know of another language it's fine to leave it in English but please include this towards the end.]. You can also write a short message to the Girls (keep in mind to not overflow the postcard. 3-4 lines is sufficient). All messages will be screened so make sure to check the CAN and CANNOT section before you write your postcard.

↗ content of message/ideas for what to write

• congratulate the girls on their 4th anni
• tell them about your country
• a place in your country/city you would recommend them visiting.

↗ what you CANNOT write on the postcard

• Absolutely no profanity and offensive messages
• No sexual content. Keep it PG
• The postcard is addressed to SNSD as a whole so please no not write anything bias including pairings e.g "Taeyeon your are my favorite member" or "SunSic is the best pairing on earth"
• When you are telling them about your country DON'T DEMAND THEM TO COME TO YOUR COUNTRY. Instead write something like "if you visit New Zealand I would take you girls to.."
• No other type of identification and that includes emails or addresses or phone numbers because that's just plain creepy
• Do not advertise other fansites
• All postcards will be skimmed for appropriateness and we have the right to trash any cards that we deem inappropriate

I'll try to send my postcard tomorrow ^^
But Can I sen two postcars in one letter ( from me and my friend one for person ^^ )

[Montse :D]

Wow! Nice project I'm going to buy my postcard tomorrow, but I have a little doubt:

Do I have to send the poscard on an envelope? Or can I send it directly? Please answer me as soon as possible !!!
THANKS !

[leopold]

Ok so for those who want to participate but are asking questions already answered but don't know how to use the search engine or have a mouse problem or maybe need some spectacles and/or future latecomers that think their time is more precious than ours to search through all the pages: Here are the HOWTO and FAQ and I'll post it on each page until the 10th if needed so that even lazy latecomers can participate.

okay, shall do Hyoyeonce another favour by summarising what we need to do and for people who cant be bothered to read:

1) First, you buy a postcard that shows a good scenery of your place. If your postcard do not fit the size requirements, it is okay but do make sure the size is the closest you can get to the stated requirements. If you are going to make your own, please make sure its printed on a cardboard and are of similar quality to the usual ones.

2) You then write your message on the back of the postcard, and you are to leave the address area empty. It can be omitted to make more room for your message.

3) After writing, remember to include "Right now it's a Global Generation" and "Happy 4th Anniversary, Girls' Generation" in your native language somewhere on the postcard. If you do not know of any other language except English, it is fine to leave the two phrases in English.

4) Before placing the postcard in an evelope, take a picture of it and post it here on Soshified. To have an image link, use photo sharing portals such as tinypic.

5) If you hope to make a donation towards the funds of the upcoming 4th Anniversary Projects, you can place the money, only acceptable in USD, with the postcard, SEALED IN AN ENVELOPE. No small items such as bracelets or keychains are accepted.

6) You then write the following address on the envelope:

Cara Austin
1138 N. Germantown Pkwy
Suite 101
Cordova, TN 38016
United States

So if you don't live in America, yes, it will be an overseas letter so please note the correct postage fees for your local post office.

7) After the team recieves and approves of it, they will post your name here:

Recieved and Approved postcards

8) And your job ends here. The team will compile all the postcards and send it over to SNSD together with the 4th Anniversary gifts.

@hyoyeonce: as usual, correct me if I am wrong.

Members are certainly welcome to do that. We've said before that people can get together and send their postcards in as a group to save on costs. That is not, however, something we will organize. There's simply too much going on with 4th anni prep. But we do hope everyone knows that you CAN send postcards in as a group. Whatever makes it the easiest on everyone.

Wow! Nice project I'm going to buy my postcard tomorrow, but I have a little doubt:

Do I have to send the poscard on an envelope? Or can I send it directly? Please answer me as soon as possible !!!
THANKS !

Well, it's better in an enveloppe so it can be protected from traveling hazards and it gives you more space for your message. But if you want to send it as it is as long as you have the good adress I guess it's okay but I'm not project leader but since in the project post it is not mandatory to do so I think it's OK.

Allow at least 7 -10 working days for the postcard to reach USA. Although it might take up to 14 days.

Answer:

Please make sure to send your post card in an envelope! And do not just send us the postcard directly.

Please read the information on the first page. Again. And again. Until you understand completely what you need to do, what you can do, and what you cannot do.

On the envelope. The postcards are to be given to SNSD, no address should be written on them.

First question answered:

Yes you can make room off the address area! Just make sure lol to not write too much because some of the Girls' english aren't that great and took much can be overwhelming....

Second question:
Under "What must be on your postcard" from first page

Include "Right now it's a Global Generation [Global Generation can be left in English wherever it fits in the phrase -- if you don't know of another language it's fine to leave it in English but please include this towards the end.] Happy 4th Anniversary, Girls' Generation!" in your native language.

So yes, you have to.

Third question:
Been asked and answered multiple times.

On the envelope. The postcards are to be given to SNSD, no address should be written on them.

Postcard: The envelope.

When I was in the process of sending it, I accidentally sealed it without taking a photo of the actual postcard. But I did post the envelope it was in, and my username is on the return address for proof. If you need any sort of description, the card is set in Waikiki, a town in Hawaii, and it's a bit of a cityscape with some palm trees here and there.

[EJR9]

Thanks heaps for answering the last questions Icarus but i have ONE more, my postcard is exactly 17 centimeters by 12 centimeters, its the closest size i could find with a picture of my city on it. Would this still be accepted!? i couldn't bare if it wasn't

hyoyeonce answered similar questions previously:

Whatever the smallest size is that you can find is acceptable.

If it's the smallest one you can find then I'm sure it's fine with the project managers.
